Liverpool's Benayoun says £6m Chelsea move is likely

Liverpool midfielder Yossi Benayoun has been primed for a move to Chelsea, according to the player himself.
The Israeli enjoyed another solid season at Anfield, scoring nine goals in 42 appearances, but has since suggested that the uncertainty surrounding the club's future could see him leave Liverpool, reportedly causing a rift with coach Rafa Benitez.

Benayoun was left out of Liverpool's squad entirely for final day of the season match at Hull City.
30-year-old Benayoun has been linked with a host of clubs including Roma, Sevilla and Tottenham. However, the Daily Mail claims that Chelsea are keen to sign the midfielder, especially with the likes of Michael Ballack and Joe Cole expected to leave Stamford Bridge.

Benayoun himself is quoted in the Daily Mail saying, "Ancelotti wants me for next season and now everything depends on Liverpool. Chelsea will have to pay some £6million but I believe that in the end I'll be moving there."
